A Tongue-in-Cheek Study of

European Stereotypes

(new addition .... The World according to the USA)

 

Yanko Tsvetkov, a Bulgarian designer and illustrator living in London, has produced seven maps in which countries and regions are labelled according to the stereotypes of their inhabitants held by the people of other nationalities.

The graphic designer said: "I created the first one in 2009 because at that time there was an energy crisis in Europe. I just created it to amuse my friends but when I put it up on my website so many people liked it that I decided to really focus on the project of mapping the stereotypes based on different places in Europe. I was surprised by the reaction because I never really expected it to take off like this."

Mr Tsvetkov's website has been inundated with around half a billion visitors since he published the series, called Mapping Stereotypes.

In a map titled Europe According to USA, Russia is blocked out in red and labelled "Commies" while France reads "Smelly People" and Germany reads "Dirty Porn". Britain is simply labelled: "Mummy".
